The amount of sleep required by man is generally proportionate to the waste of vital strength, whether by muscular exertion, mental activity (or emotion), or by the process of rapid assimilation, as during the first years of growth ami during this recovery from an exhausting disease. The weight of a new-born child increases more rapidly than that of a eupeptic adult, enjoying a liberal diet altera period of starvation, and, though an infant is incapable of form ing abstract ideas, wo need not doubt that thoTariciy of new and bewilder ing impressions must overtask its little sensorium in a few hours. Nurslings should therefore be permitted to sleep to their full satisfaction; wea'cly babies, especially, need sleep more than food, and jt is the safest plan never to dis turb a child's slumber wh le the regu larity ot Tils breathing indicates the hcaltbluluess of bis repose; there is lit tlordanger of his "oversleeping" him .sclf.ra a moderately-warmed, well-vcn-tilated room. 2?evcr mind about meal times; hunger will awaken him at the right moment, or teach him to make up for lost time. Three or four nursing3 in the twenty-four hours arc enough; Dr. C. K. X'agc, who has made the Tiroblom of infant diet Ids special study, believes that fifty per cent, of the enor mous number of children dying under two years of age are killed by being coaxed to guzzle till they are hopeless ly discaseu with fatty degeneration. Tho hcaltlifulncss of village children is -partly due to the tranquillity of their slumber in the comfortable nooks of a quiet homestead, or in the shade of a leafy tree, while their parents are at work in a way ratherinconipatible with the habit of fondling the baby all night. In houses where there is plenty of room, the nursery and the infant's dormitory ought to be two separate apartments; the play-room can not be too sunny; for the bedroom a shady and sequestered location is, on the whole, preferable. Next to out-door exercise, silence and a subdued light are the best hvpnotics. Hut under no circumstances should in somnia be overcome by cradling or nar cotics. Stuj.cfaction is not slumber. The lethargy induced by rocking and cradling is" akin to the drowsy torpor of a sea-sick passenger, and the opium doctor might as well benumb his pa tient by a whack on the head. The morbid sleeplessness of children may be owing to several causes which can bo generally recognized by the symp toms of their modus operandi; impa tient turning from side to side, as if in n vain attempt to obtain a much-needed repose, means that the room is too stuffy or too warm; long wakefulness, combined with squalling-lits and petu lant movements, indicates acidity in the stomach (overfeeding, or too much "soothing-sirup""') let the little kicker exercise his muscle on the iloor; in ma lignant cases, skip a meal or two, or give water instead of milk. After weathering an attack of croup, children often lie motionless on their backs with a peculiar glassy stare of their wide open eyes. Leave them alone: instinct teaches them to assuage the distress of their lungs by slow and deep respira tions; rest and a half-open window will do them more good than medicine. Healthful iufants i. c., under ra tional management the great plurality can soon be taught to transact their public business at seasonable hours, or at .least to abstain from midnight ser enades. If mothers would make it a rule to do all their nursing and fondling in the daytime their little revivalists would soon learn to associate darknes? with the idea of silence and slumber. Habit will do wonders in such things. Captain Barclay and several American pedestrians learned to take their half hour naps as a traveler snatches a hasty lunch, and many old soldiers de velop a faculty of going off to sleep, :is it'wero, at tho word of command tho moment their ? shoulders touch the guardhouso bunk. The two drowsiest years of my life T passed at an old-style "boarding-school, where teachers and pupils were limited to seven Jiours of sleep after nine hours of study, besides written exercises and special recita tions, and where sixty or seventy, of us had to sleep in a large hall; and I do not believe that the 'last flickering of our live-minutes candle was ever wit nessed by a pair of more than half-open eyes. But that same faculty of sleeping and waking at short notice ruay bo utilized for the purpose vof taking little naps whenever opportunity offers in the last half-hour of tho noontide recess, or during the Buncombe interacts of a pro tracted session. The inhabitants of all intertropical countries make the time orreposc a movable festival, and dur ingHuc dog-days of our torrid summers it would clearly be the best plan to imitate their example. "Children must not sleep in the daytime." says a b--law of our time-dishonored Koran of domestic superstitions; and, not satis fied with keening our litt'.o ones at school during the drowsy afternoons of the summer solstice, we increase their misery by stuffing them at tho very noon of the hottest hours with a mass ofgreasy (i. c, heat-producing and soporific) food. An hour after the end oK" a Jong, sultry day comes the cool night-wind, Heaven s own blessing for alCwho hunger and thirst after fresh air;" but no, "Night air is injurious"; besides. Mrs. Grundy objects to prome nades after dark, so -ihe children are driven to'thcir suffocating", unventilatcd bed-rooms, not to sleep, hut to swelter, till toward, midnight, when drowsiness subsides into a sort of lethargy which yields only to broad daylight, three or four hours after sunrise; "So much the better," saj-s the fashionable mother, who has passed the night in an ice cream fidotlo, "aud morning air .isu't healthy, either; most dangerous to leave the house before the dew is off tho grass." Only the curse of pessimism, our wo ful distrust of our natural instincts, can explain such' absurdities. The parched palate's petition for a cooling liquid is not plainer than the brain's craving for rest and slumber wen a high tempera ture adds its somniferous tendency to ' the drowsy influence of a full meal. On warm summer days all Naturo in dulges in a noontide nap; I have walked through tropical forests that were as eOent'tmder the Tays of a vertical sun as a Norwegian pine-erove in the dead of- a polar night; nor'would it be easy to name a Single animai mat uoes not appear sleepy after meals.

Necessity lasy compel individuals to compromise such mattere. If I had to work or teach all day, 1 would not eat a crumb between breakfast and sup per, and pass tho. dinner-hour under a shado tree; but parents who can afford to educate their children at home should give them cither an all-summer vacation or a half-afternoon recess- let them rest from twelve till three, sleep if they prefer; in the uo not senu mem to ueu Luruiev are really tired, and tilljhd-alght wind has revitalized thoairoTtheir bedrooms; but make tjujflT-risc with tne sunif they aterUrowsy they will go to bed the next evening.

Tho rcqu'site amount of si -ep depends on temperament and occupation :is well a3 on age; with children under ten, however, too much indulgcii'-e would be an error on the safer side; let tlicm choose their allow ance between eight and ten hours; in after years seven hours should be the minimum, nine the maximum for hcultp children; sickly ones ought to have oirlc blanche, both as to quantum and time of reno-e; consumptives, es pecially, need all the rest they can get. Profound sleep in a cool, quiet retreat is Nature's own specific for all wasting diseases, a panacea without price and 11101103 Nothing can be more injudicious than to stint children in their sleep with a view of gaining a few hours for study. "That plan,'' says Pestalozzi. "defeats its own purpose, for such child; en are never wide-awake; you can keep them out of bed. but you can not prevent them from dozing with their eyes oj en. A wide-awake boy will Jcani more in one hour than a day-dreamer in ten." Habitual deficiency of sleep will un dermine the strongest con-tit ution; headache, throbbing and feverish heat are the precursors of graver evils, un less a temporary loss of mental power cpmnels an armistice with out 1 aged Na ture It is a curious fact that compul sory wakefulness combined with mental activity often induces a state of morbid insomnia, an absolute inability to ob tain the sleep which it was at first so difficult to resist. In such cases the only remedy is fresh air and a complete change of occupation. During sleet) the brain is in a comparatively blood less condition; a hot head aud throb bing temp'cs arc unfavorable to repose, and it has been suggested that insomnia might be counteracted by a hot foot bath, chafing the arms and legs, or any similar operation that would divert the blood from tho head toward the extrem ities, and thus tend to diminish the ac tivity of the cerebral circulation. Lis tening to distant music or tho ripple of a river current has also a wonderful hypnotic ellcct, the repetition of monot onous sounds or, indeed, of any senso rial impression, seems more favorable to repose than their entire absence. A .South-German feather-bed is a Trophonian cave; the difficulty of turn ing from side to side crowds the brain with alarming phantasms, and the ex ces.sivo warmth of the thing itself is apt to affect tho imagination. The best bed is, indeed, a hard, broad mattress, or a well-stufl'ed straw tick, ami a woolen blanket over a linen bed-sheet is preferable to a quilt. Those who find it uncomfortable to sleep in an ab solutely horizontal position should slightly raise the head-end of the bed stead rather than use a thick bolster. A thick pillow bends the head upon the breast, or keeps the neck in a posi tion that aggravates the distress of respiratory difficulties. Wovon-wiro mattresses recommend themselves hj' their cleanliness and durability; their olastic qualities alone would hirdly justify a great expense, though luxury has even devised an "hydrostatic bed," a trough of water with a tegument of caoutchouc. History records the name of theSybaritewho "cr'ctl aloud because aloaJletof his l!ower-niuttrcssrol crum pled ;" and Chevalier LucknerTthc Rus sian Lucullus, built himself an air-oillow bed on noiseless wheels, that could be turned by a hand-lever, in order to movri the sleeping-car from or toward the stove, the aphelion and perihelion being detenu ned by the state of the out-door atmosphere. Such chevaliers deserve tho penan-o of Ezekiel fiv. 0-G), who had to lie three hundred and ninety days ou his left side for tho in iquity of the house of Israel, aud forty days extra for the iniquity of the house of Judah. A weary head needs no air-cushions with wheel attachments; brakesmen take their intermittent naps on the hard caboose-bunk of a rumbling freight-train; and the log of the Royal Sovereign records that, during tho heat of the battle of the Nile, sonic of the over-fatigued boys fell asleep upon the deck. Felix L. Oswald, AT. v., in Pop ular Science Monthly. Didn't Recognize Him. Tho Boston Sunday Budget tolls the following story: Maty years ago there dwelt in a certain Boston street two families which, although near neigh bors, had no neighborly relations nor even acquaintance. This grew out of tho fact that while tho head of one house let us call him dones was of somewhat "low condition," the other, whom we will style Pedigree, was "upper crust, a regular patrician." It rather troubled the dfines family to havo tho Pedigrees treat them as though they did .not exist; but they niauaged to worn along, and in due timo the Jones boys grew to be men and entered upon the serious business of life, one of them to such good purpose that he ac quired wealth and became the President of a bank. One day one of the Pedi gree's received a check on this same bank and stepped in to have it cashed. The Teller was all politeness, said he had no doubt it was all right, but added that the rules of the bank required that the presenter of a check should be iden tified. Mr. Pedigree found no fault, and added-that he had no doubt Mr. Jones, tho President of tho bank, could furnish the needed identification. Just then tho President happened to pass frum his private room, and the Teller handed him the check and stated what was wanted. The President took tho check, examined the signature and the indorsement carefully, and, looking Mr. Pedigree straight in the face, handed it back to the Teller and said, " I do not know the gentleman," turned on his heel and went about his business. The French Academy is at logger heads over a fund of-10.-000 francs "be queathed by Mnic. Botta, an Ameri can lady, of which the interest is to ba awarded at stated times as a prize for the best treatise on tho "Condition of Woman." The time for making tho first award of this prize, has now ar rived, but Alexander Dumas and Emtio ' Olliver got into a heated discussion over the 'question to whom it ought to be given. Dumas favor3 Leon Richer, a woman's rights advocate, for his boot, entitled "La Femme Libre," but Olliv er is ""bitterly opposed to tho woman's rights movement.

There was a woman, sir. who came here last winter when snow was on the ground. Pretty? Yes. she was one of the prettiest things I ever saw. She always came with a young fellow; some one said he was a lawyer down town, and she was always laughing and talking as they drove by me. After awhile I used to expect th'm on fine days, fur they always came about the same time in the after noon. What was she like? Oh! she was a lil tie thing, and so bundled up that 3011 could only see her face, but that was white and delicate, anil her eyes alio seemed happy, and they never cared much for other people. One day he came here alone, and I never saw them together after that. It was along in the spring when she came aain, but this time it was with the man you just saw. Then I got to know him; he used to stop and ask me how many carriages had gone in during the afternoon. Yes, they came quite often together." Hero the guard whistled at a vehicle which was parsing at a speed quite out of keeping with the day and the park laws governing fast driving. Then he resumed the romance, which seemed to be of absorbing interest to hi.u: " But she was not the same. I used to look at her sitting up in that stiff backed dog-cart, and 1 could see that she had changed. She never talked much now, although he was always talking to her. Her father? No, he wasn't that, and one day a strange thing happened. The young fellow, the lawyer, vou know, drove up. I hadn't seen him for a long time, and he reined up to speak to me. ami then, while he was waiting, she drove up in the dog-curt. No, she wasn't alone. I motioned tho young fe'low to look round; then their eyes met. but she turned hers away, and my young friend drove away without saving anything. Thi was some timo in March. I saw her only a few times afterward. She rode then in an open carriage, and was propped up with pillows, looking very bad. I saw her so once or twice, and one time she bowed to me just a little. Then I saw nothing more of her, and the old fellow came alone in the dog cart as he did to-day. One day he stopped hero to fix his harness. Ho chatted with me a moment or two, and I said I had missed of late a lady who used to come with him." "'Yes,1 said he, 'sho died three weeks ago.'

A reporter said to ex-Governor Cur tin, of Pennsylvania: "Which oslatc will net the most to the heirs that of Colonel Thomas A. Scott or the estate of Asa Packer?" He replied- " I think that the Packer estate is the best. It is generally held to be worth S7.000.000. without exaggeration. The estate of Colonel Scott is large, but I think the newspapers rate it too high. I should put it down at about 50,000, 000. Considering everything, that is a very great result for such an'uctive and venturesome mind as Colonel Scott's. Some of the largest fortunes in Phila delphia have been accumulated b' tho manufacturers. There is Mr. Weight man, of the firm of drug manufactur ers which monopolized the quinine. He is one of the richest men in Penn s'lvanii. The estate of Gillighan Fell is very large. Disston, tho saw manu facturer, has made a largo amount of money. Dobson, the carpet manufact urer, has done a great busiuess. Tho Baldwin Locomotive Works, as you know, are the largest in the world. Sellers, tho boiler-maker, is another great force with us. In Pittsburgh the largest fortune I presume to be that of William Thaw, who is at tho head of the Pennsylvania Railroad lines west of Pennsylvania. He is now a Director in tho Pennsylvania railroad. Some reckon his means at 510,000,003. Hos tetter, the bitters man, is also very rich in Pittsburgh. One of tho most successful men in our State is A. J. Cassatt, Vice-President of thu Penns3l vania Railroad. He was a boy of plain, respectable family in Pittsburgh. He entered tho railway service near the bottom and has worked his way up un til he is one of tho great masters of railroad details, and by his address is considerable of a public and social man; and his sagacity has made him a large fortune " Terils of Lishtninu-Kod Men. "Yes," chimed in the manufacturer of lightning rods who sat by, "it is risky some limes. The worst job I ever had done was the rodd'ng of the Cen tral Presbyterian Church in Fifty-seventh Street, near Eighth Avenue. They wouldn't have it dono when the steeple was put up, when it would have been easy, but after tho lightning had given them one light touch, then they wanted it fixed tip immediately. It would havo cost $100 to put up scaffold ing to do the work safely then, but they would not pay that added sum, or anything like iL The best they would do" was twenty-live dollars, and it was a puzzle to know how wo could do itior that. J. B. Tumor, the most daring and expert climber in the business, probably, took tho job. He went up tho inside of the steeple as far as he could, forty feet from the roof, and there poked out through two holes a couple of scantlings, on which ho fast ened a board. On that board he set up a couple of scantlings with cleats nailed aeros3 them like a ladder, nail ing them en as he went up, and nailing other scantlings on to the ends of those when he got to the top. There was no possibility of-fastcning that ladder to tho steeple until he got up where the steeple was so slim that he could throw a rope around it and tie it. It was simply leaned against tho smooth-slated sine ot tne steeple, a pirn 01 wma or a careless movement out of balance would have burled him down. In that way he worked his way up sixty feet from the point where he started his ladder about 100 from the roof, and j say loU lrom tne ground. It makes my blood run cold to think of it. I wouldn't have attempted it for anything in the world. But he did it safely, fixed the rod, took down his ladder again, and fastened the slates ingeniously from the J inside over the holes made for his scantlings, leaving all as good as be fore. This was in September, 187S, 44 Another time Turner had to go up to put a lightning rod en a chimney j stack .up town.

Young ladies and children, and tinny men, tht'3' sting till the vic tims are all covered with blisters and in danger of erysipelas. This is pretty bad, but we think the nervous persons, whom mosquitoes sting little, but keep awake with their buzzing, are even more to be pitied. They imtl the mos quito's bark worse than his bite, 'i he latter may not mark or hurt them much; it is a question of constitution; and thero are people with whom the bite does not "take," as they say of vacci uation. But the3- sutler ad night long from the shrill, persistent noi.e of the mosquito's trumpet. At the first warn ing the3' leap up. lig)it a candle, take it into bed, and tiy to catch the in truder. No one can gues how difficult this is. You soon find the mosquito on the curia'.!!, where he lies apparently asleep. Von cautiously you stalk hint. 3'our hand is just over him, and jus tice is about to be done, when the vicious creature llies awaj and amuses himself in mid-air. Presently he settles, aud the chase begins again, till the hunter sets lire to the flimsy curtains, and has quite enough work to do in extinguishing the fire. After that mosquitoes come and go as the3' please, without . let or hindrance, and da dawns on a feverish and frantic man, who has onl bagged two or three of his inuumeiable enemies. Late in the morning mosquitoes siren, overcome with triumph ami the refreshment which they have snatched from their enemy. The may now be killed, and it is curi ous to see as any one who crushes them will see how much of man's vital fluid one mosquito can absorb. They who are fortunately inexperienced in the was of mosquitoes will now under stand that the insect is one of the great est plagues that nature tolerates. There are more dangerous Hies though the mosquito's bite is sometimes po-sonous and severe but there is no more irri tating creature in tho world than tho mosquito. Hitherto tho absence of fiies that bite has been one of England's greatest charms. No other country in our latitude is so free from them. Norway and Sweden sutler even nwrc thau the south from mosquitoes. The mild Bulgarian dreads them, aud there is a ghastly story of a drunken Bulgarian who tied up his wife in a mosquito trap. The poor woman was billon to death, and her husband observed in the morn ing that he had sullered almost as much as if ho had not thought of his savage expedient. Greece is, perhaps, mure remarkable for the insect "whence is derived the verb 'to lice'" than for mosquitoes; and the same remark holds good of the Baden contingent. None of the countless snakes of America or India cause more trouble, when the host of minor miseries is added up, than mosquitoes do. If they have real I' settled in Loudon we ma' expect them to keep prett near the river, and general!' itt the damper and lcs de sirable parts of the town. Our winters must kill them, or most of them, or so at least we might expect if the ex perience ot Norway with its far harder winters did not look the other way. If they do effect a settlement, there is no help but to encourage trade by invest ing in mosquito curtains. The Ameri can humorist's plan is to get into bed, wait tiil all the mosquitoes have enter ed the curtains, and then rapidly bolt out, shutting up the mosquitoes behind. Sleep may then be obtained in an arm chair or on a sofa. Perhaps we may all soon have occasion to try both ways of evading mos piitocs. London heirs. A fair young German maiden was arraigned before the District Court of Dortmund for stealing a watch from a youthful handicraftsinnn of that city. The person she had robbed proved to be her own affianced lover, who. upon discovering his loss, had forthwith noti fied it to the Dortmund police, without the faintest notion that the theft had been committed by his betrothed bride. Investigation resulted in the discovery of the stolen property in a pawnbroker's shop, where the damsel had pledged it for a tritling sum. When brought to trial she avowed her guilt with many tears and sobs, alleging that, unable to purchase her wedding dress, and being ashamed to confess her poverty to her fature husband, she had purloined his watch with the object of realizing a sufficient amount by its hypothecation tc equip herself dc -entry. It is plea-anl to know that this piteous confession war responded to in a'gallant and magnani mous spirit by the despoiled bride groom, who declared that "tho prisono1 was and ever would be his only love, and that he would marry her out cf hand if the Judge would consent to sol her at liberty."' Without a minute's delay, the tribunal annulled the ar raignment, and the geucrous lover carried off his liberated larccnist in tri umph. It is pointed out by the Levant ZTcratf that the JL'l.v.OOO paid the other day as ransom for Mr. Suter represents 2t4 pounds of gold, whereas that gen tleman's weight probably does not ex ceed 154 pounds; while 211 pounds we'ght of gold was given for CoL Synge, who can be little short of .'Jo pound heavier than Mr. Suter. Statistically considered, this is a very striking in crease in the price of human life in the brigand market. About 1853 Dr. Mc Graith of Smyrna, who weighed at thai period about145 pounds, was ransomed from brigands for 400, or 7 pounds weight ot gold. In lSo Mr. Alfred Van Lennep, of Smyrna, weighing about 150 pounds, was ransomed for 1,500, or I'S pounds weight of gold. Thus in 1853 the brigands could corn mand about 5os. 2d. per pound for their captives, while in 1SG7 the price had risen to 200s. Dcr pound. But this is notnmg to tne subsequent increase. Col. Synge's captors obtained 1,148s. per pound, and those, of Mr. Suler l.y'os. per pound. Jc tne hands of the brigands a captive is now worth. according to the latest quotation, nearly 1.72 times his weight iu gold. slDie for the statement that a mu'e was SUn-struck in that city one day last weed.

Iklroil Free lYess. m I'liotogrnnliiiiir the Comet. Prof. Draper s face expressed his de light yesterday morning, sooner than his words, when he announced jubi lantly that he had sutured a photograph of the spectrum of the comet. "Ye-, sir, I have done it," he said, rubbing his hands, "and am both surprised and delighted. Tho experiment has never before been tried, aud 1 had little hope of Micecs" certainly not of such iniiiie d ate success. I had an exposure of eighty-five minutes, which was brought to an end by the glimmer of approach ing dawn. The impression, though narrow, is distinct, and will servo all needful purposes. In fact, I regard lal night as a night of triumph." The dilli -nlties altcndiug the photo graphing of the comet it-elf were mul tiplied by the interposition of the spec troscope, which ditlused still further the already feeble light. Prof. Drrper had, however, so adjusted the object glass of his telescope that all the rays ot light were brought to a focus upon the nar row slit ot tho spectroscope. The nlate was set very near the slit, so that, with the help of a very peculiar arrangement which gives every beam its full effect, but which Prof. Draper does not wish to describe until he has proved it further, a very good result was reached. The spectrum of the coma, which on the photograph is directly above that of the necleus. seems. Pro . Draper says, to be continuous, althougn when he cNaunncd it, the photograj h was net yet dry, If there were any lines at all." they must, he thought, be exceedingly famt. The absence of a banded spectrum seems to show that the tenipe.at'.ire of the comet is not very high", probably not above tl.c heat which can be produced on the earth by artificial means. The coma seems to be rapidly cooling, as it is fast subs.ding into the nucleus. Its shape is still constantly changing; at first it resembled a bird" with spreading wings; afterward it took the tonu of the half section of a wheel; then it showed two forward curbing arms with an arc in front of them; and now tne arms have disappeared, leaving only a faint arc in front of the nucleus, with a light, misty appearance between. Prof. Draper's interence is that the volatile fluid which blazed up as the cornel approached the sun is now coudensing again as it re cedes. The activity in the head is con tinually growing less also, a fact which favors the same hypothesis. The value of the photograph of the comet itself, the Professor sas, nrises xrom tho fact that it gives aii accurate standard tor iuture comparison, very . much superior to the inaccurate draw- j ings which have previously been relied j upon. The photograph of the spectrum has a further value m that it shows ele ments and colors which the eye cannot discern in the visual spectrum. The tail of this comet shows a con tinuous spectrum, as those of other comets have done, indicating that the tail is composed of solid or liquid substances. " Would not the supposition that tho tail consists of matter in the 'fourth state' explain the continuous spectrum equally well?" asked a reporter of the Inbuhc Well." was the reply, the spectrum of the fourth state ot matter docs ap pear to be continuous, but it has cot been thoroughly investigated: matter in the fourth state can only be exam ined in a glass tube, which always pro duces a green phosphorescence when lighted by electricity for spectroscopic purposes Hence the spectrum of the matter itself is greatly obscured." When the comet appeared I'rof. Draper had been making preparations for six mouths to photograph the neb ula in Orion. Thi3 is a very delicate operation, and he was we'd prepared for photographing the comet. The ex permenti upon the nebula of Orion, which have been suspended during the period o: the cornet, will be resumed after it his disappeared from theskv. -Y. r. Tribune.

There Is a good deal of harmless prattle about tno superior health, tho strength, aud the wisdom of our great grandfathers ami great-grandmothers. It is a common thing to hear old pco- j pie. who ought to have better sense. ' talking about the good old times and the higher mental and physical ability of tho-e who lived long ago. While we have great respect for the old folks, living and dead, wo mut not shut our eyes to the reality. The truth is that people live longer now than ever they did. The med.cul profusion knows more now than ever it did: and we could put into the Held to-day a biegcr armv of centenarians than our grand father could in the good old das when they were young. Moreover, old peo ple now are much more vigorous than the old people of times pat. Our pco ole are growing larger and stronger. It is not so many ears sinnj the Ameri can woman "was a slight, delicate creature: now she is Lill and portlv. The numbers of singularly tall and well proportioned young men and women to be seen in the streets of New York to day astonish the old fellows who re member the boy? and girls forty or fifty years ago. Some persons imagine that this increase in size is confined to the children of our foreign-born citizens: but this 13 a great mistake, for the. in crc.vcJ growth is general. Certainly the mixture of races miy have cyruo tiling to do with it, but whatever tc the. Cause, it is a fact plainly to be seen by anv observer. The greatest known feats 6f physical strength and enduran e are recorded to the crcd.t of theyonng men of this age; and. indeed, it is hardly too much to assert that the greatest runners, the greatest walkers, the greatest jumpers, the greatest swimmers, the greatest oarsmen, the greatest weight-lifter. the greatest gymnasts, the greatest boxers, the greatest fencers, and the heaviest men that ever lived arc among the living of fo-dav. There seems to 1 lc a universal iacrcac in the growth of humanity. The heigh', the chetnca urement. and the weight o! the soldiers of the immense armies of Europe of the present time are at least as great as they were amoagthe picked men of th much smaller European armies of fifty years past, clearly showing that the average man of" to-day is a big and as rtrong as the picked man of long ago. The fact stares us in too face that the grown-ap ons and daughter of the old people of thu country are. as a role, bigger and stronger than their father and moth ers were. An ordinary-sized English man finds considerable difficult-- in squeezing himself into the armor of onj i 01 ujc .onaa.n conr'uerors 01 nu cunn try; but what could one of our Western farmers do with it? Certainly he could pick it up and look at it, bat that is alL We have great respect for the mesa ory ot oar grandfathers aad great grandfathers, as well as for our grand mothers and great-grandmothers, bet we cannot atford to delude ourselves whh ideas and notions that facta and figures set aside. People are inclined to overestimate the cea!ure of wisdom and ability of the grand old fellows of days gone by. It a an. amiable fault, but still a faalt; because tha truth Is sot so. -V; I Sun.
